AIR IS STILL IN THE BAG AFTER

1. Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside the Vacuum Chamber.

3. If you’re using an Automated Food Vacuum Sealer Bag with a customized size, first check the seal of the bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter, just cut the bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your side seams, the bags are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed to the outer edge. Making your side seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.

AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT AIR HAS RE-ENTERED

1. Examine the seal of the bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter, Simply cut the bag and reseal it.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along the seal prevents the bag from sealing properly. Cut the bag, wipe the top inside of the bag, and reseal.
3. If you vacuum a package with sharp food items and the bag may have been punctured, use a new bag. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, and reseal.
4. If there’s still air in the bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the food may have occurred, and food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.

THE BAG MELTS:
If the bag’s melted or rub blip may have become too hot, always wait at least 5 minutes for the appliance to cool down before you vacuum package another item.
